词:problematic

英英释义:involving problems and difficult to deal with

例句:Driving in Beijing can be quite problematic.

我们都熟悉“problem”是“问题”的意思,它的形容词形式 problematic 其实也很常见。Problematic 的字面意思是“有问题的”,不过常常可以在不同场景中灵活翻译,比如“困难重重” “难以处理”,是一个我们熟悉但是想不起来用的小词。

在北京开车很容易出现各种各样的问题,比如交通堵塞、停车等,我们这时就可以用 problematic 来吐槽:

Driving in Beijing can be quite problematic.

对许多学习者来说,最大的语言问题是词汇量不足。这时我们就可以说:

Acquiring an adequate vocabulary has been highly problematic for most learners.

某个问题依然存在,我们除了用“remain a problem”外,还可以用 remain problematic,比如共享出行依然有许多问题:

Ride-sharing services remain problematic.

《经济学人》中也会经常出现 problematic,比如在提到中国的人口政策时,它说:

A population-planning document released last year acknowledged that the low birth rate was problematic.

在提到美国对科技公司的监管时也用到了 problematic:

For firms with free products, such as Facebook and Google, such regulation could prove problematic.

1)翻译下面的句子:

对中国学生来说,英语中的双元音(diphthong)很难掌握。

(参考翻译:English diphthongs are particularly problematic for Chinese students to master.)

2)造句。

例子: Domestic sewage treatment and garbage disposal remain problematic,especially in rural areas.

场景 : 生活污水处理和垃圾处理的问题依然存在,尤其是在农村地区。
